In 2021, the StreetSpark Mural Program and Butler County Regional Transit Authority partnered to wrap three large buses with existing StreetSpark mural designs, creating mobile public art. In 2022, the groups invited artists to submit original designs for three smaller buses. There are currently seven BCRTA buses traveling throughout Butler County, displaying the diverse designs of our local artists!
Designer Description: This design highlights transportation and the games invented with transportation vernacular. One side of the bus depicts Garrett Morgan who, after witnessing an accident on a roadway, decided a device was needed to keep cars, buggies and pedestrians from colliding. His traffic signal was designed to stand on a street corner and notify vehicles and walkers whether they should stop or go. The other side of the bus is a group of multi-cultured children who are playing red-light green-light. This design promotes happiness, fun, health and road safety.
